A service menu to secure delete your files and folder.
This service menu is a simple frontend of only some options of srm in the package secure-delete, http://www.thc.org, see man:srm for more options.
Be careful, secure deletion (very slow and very secure) overwrite your files 38 times and can take a long time.

Version 0.3 - kde4 version - 20/04/2009
- this version should work with kde4, tested on Sidux and kde 4.2.2.
- added a simple installation script.
- added a scrip to check file/folder ownership to prevent the error message "kdialog not found".

Version 0.2 - minor update - 01/03/2008
- added "Delete only" option (very fast using rm), since in the version of Kubuntu Gutsy of dolphin this option is missing and sometimes move to trash a large number of files and folder is very slow.
- added window title.

Re: kdialog not found

Hi spikyatlinux, i get that error when i try to delete a file that i don't own.
In next version i'm planning to write a script to check ownership of files/folder and eventually display a warming message.

Re: What's finally the solution?

In my system this service menu (and also others service menus) don't work with dolphin in 'system:/home/', where i get the 'kdialog not found' message even if i own the file, but works fine in '/home/vanbosco/' instead.
Perhaps this is what is happening to you.

work in Kubuntu 8.1 (KDE4)?

It appears that the path to the "servicemenu" has changed as specified in your installation text. Also, I'm really more interested in Dolphin not Konqueror. I have installed the 'THC SecureDelete 3.1.4' from the 'Package Manager' in Kubuntu 8.10, and the 'SercureDelete Servicemenu' was obtained from this site. That said, how do I proceed to get this working? I have place a "servicemenu" folder in Dolphin and Konqueror, re-booted w/o results. I've gone about as far as I can on my own.

How do you like Plasma 5? The best KDE Desktop ever. Definitely a nice improvement. Not decided yet. Haven't tried it yet. I do not like some of the changes. KDE is taking the wrong way. I am still sticking with KDE 3.5. I have no opinion, but wanted to vote anyway.
